La Religieuse Serge Lutens 2015

I received the mini from Paris store via postal service as the SA lady promised me to do once she was allowed. Such a lovely gesture because i missed their launch last Saturday and herewith my feedback : it is an incredible complex jasmin with definitively animalic underground due to civet, unique combination of sweet white jasmin, but with fresh body and restrained smokiness due to the incense and very sensual dry down because of the musk.. it is officially an unisex and men can definitively wear it because it is a kind of modern interpretation of a soapy floral.. Don't expect the lush creamy jasmin, no it is the more fresh, crispy, grassy jasmin interpretation with good sillage and average longevity. Is it a "haunting" perfume ? In a way it is, don't be misled by the simple official composition of the notes, there is some magician behind it to develop a perfume which is built within so many layers of jasmin. I am mostly used to that typical indolic jasmin, well this perfume has not these typical indolic jasmin notes, quite the contrary. It reminded me first to other flowers like LOTV or even freesia, mimosa, brought me almost off balance. Could not believe it first that jasmin is the only flower in here..
I really love it and i ordered immediately a FB ! I can highly recommend to test it for the real SL lovers who appreciate a modern floral.
